DESCRIPTION:Each day\, a new library\, tool\, framework\, blog post\, what
 ever comes out. The amount we sometimes feel expected to learn can be over
 whelming at times. How on earth can we ever earn the big bucks and be an e
 xpert at something\, when the somethings keep changing!?!\n\nIn this talk\
 , I'll break down why getting caught up in the latest trends may be detrim
 ental to your health. How slowing down\, with a big idea\, and a lot of ef
 fort over time\, will bring amazing things.\n\nIt'll cover questions like:
 \n\n- What should I learn\, am I learning the right stuff?\n- Why are ther
 e soo many similar projects\, can't there just be one?\n- Why are more or 
 less projects good or bad?\n- Why do some projects get insanely popular an
 d then phaze out\, while others continue to gain popularity over time?\n- 
 Do I really need to learn the next great thing? What should I learn? Where
  should I even start?\n\n### Speaker bio\n\nBenjamin Lupton is the founder
  of Bevry\, a Sydney based company dedicated to empowering developers ever
 ywhere. His open-source javascript and node.js projects are some of the mo
 st popular in the world\, even 37Signals and Microsoft uses them. Besides 
 work\, he drives his family nuts with questions of life.\n

DESCRIPTION:As product creators - designers & developers alike - we do our
  best to keep up to date about the newest of technologies. We are inspired
  by the possibilites they present and motivated to learn and master them. 
 We put these technologies to use\, to build the products we envision. This
  excites us\, and addiction is easy.\n\nWe lead ourselves down a path of o
 bsession in a quest to master the tools. Absolute know-how becomes the goa
 l. And we lose sight of what we set out to achieve.\n\nOur minds get occup
 ied with figuring out "how" to build our products\, and this distracts us 
 from keeping in mind "why" we set out to build them in the first place.\n\
 nAlthough the "how" is of utmost significance\, it is important to think o
 f your product from a holistic perspective. It’s easy to get lost in ach
 ieving technical wins\, but it’s equally important to think about why th
 ose are necessary.\n\nThe question\, "why"\, is a very important and signi
 ficant one. It helps us to level with ourselves and bring ourselves out of
  the obsession with technology. "Why"\, reminds us that the tools are just
  a means to accomplish something more meaningful.\n\nI'll be talking for t
 he "why".\n\n### Speaker bio\n\nI constantly think about the design proces
 s - as I was never educated in one. I studied to be an engineer but educat
 ed to become a product designer. I'm still educating myself with the help 
 of others - and try to do my bit helping others however I can.\n\nI now li
 ve in Singapore and work with different companies to create products. I al
 so curate the Interaction Design Sessions ( http://www.ixdsessions.com )\n

DESCRIPTION:Design\, esp. on the web\, is not just pixel perfection. It is
  perhaps as important\, if not more\, to deliver a friendly and coherent e
 xperience from the very first point of interaction.\n\nBehind the scenes e
 very product is driven by a complex system\, the internals of which — be
  it technology\, implementation or business speak — are far from comfort
 ing for users. However\, often as designers or as product/business owners\
 , we overlook such elements that trickle through our products and expose t
 hemselves leading to a disconcerting experience.\n\nWe’ll take a look at
  some examples where details are unnecessarily exposed (e.g. revealing fil
 e extensions in URLs) and why creators and designers of systems should try
  utmost to identify them and make them invisible in their products.\n\n###

DESCRIPTION:Using the format Yahoo started and Quora completely hijacked\,
  I'll answer 3 basic questions about the internet\, covering security\, de
 sign and how things go bump on the internet. \n\n> MetaRefresh is an inter
 esting conference. Among all the hasgeek \n> conferences this is the one w
 here you see an overlap between the left-\n> brained and the right-brained
 . On one hand you meet amazing \n> designers who are creating art and on t
 he other you have front-end \n> engineers who run routes and scripts aroun
 d all of us. \n\nMy session is about the place where these two meet. The s
 ession is \nabout why frontend engineers need to understand and embrace th
 e \nsimplicity of the protocol they are building upon. Designers need to g
 et that the intrinsic value of the world wide web is when non-technical \n
 folks (like my parents) are able to buy tickets\, shop for stuff\, play \n
 games on FB without worrying about their money getting stolen\, \nmalware 
 eating their photos and losing their cat pictures.\n\n### Speaker bio\n\nI
  used to freelance as a Web Application Security Consultant. Now I run my 
 Application Security Company with special focus on Web and Mobile. \n\nI h
 elp companies become secure by helping them understand approaches to secur
 ity for the platform\, security best practices and most importantly spread
 ing the message that being secure is much cheaper than being insecure. \n\

DESCRIPTION:There is a fundamental problem with HTML and JavaScript that m
 akes it hard to build reusable components / widgets - The DOM contents of 
 the component is not encapsulated from the rest of the page. This could po
 ssibly lead to collision of IDs\; unexpected JavaScript behaviour because 
 of some existing code\; broken styles\; and so on. Today we overcome most 
 of these problems by following certain conventions and assumptions. "Web C
 omponents" is a set of cutting-edge standards to solve these problems. \n\
 nI will be covering some of the key aspects of building re-usable componen
 ts:\n- Templates\n- Style Encapsulation\n- Separation of contents from the
  presentation\n- Different players of Web components - Templates\, Shadow 
 DOM\, Observers\, etc.\n\n### Speaker bio\n\nMy name is Varunkumar Nagaraj

DESCRIPTION:Consider this common scenario: You’re designing a product an
 d you need some input from the user. The journey date for a travel booking
  website\, perhaps. You might arrive at a solution by considering: common 
 date entry techniques on the web (HTML date `<input>`\, Javascript date pi
 ckers etc.)\, factors that have a strong correlation with the project’s 
 context (e.g. range of valid dates for bookings) and any constrains impose
 d by the environment (e.g. device capabilities).\n\nAn alternate\, bottom-
 up approach might be to reason out a solution on the basis of beliefs such
  as: every point of input slows the interface\; can we avoid an explicit d
 ecision from the user? Be liberal while accepting inputs\; are we too stri
 ct? Simple trumps complex\; can we use a native `<select>` dropdown instea
 d of a Javascript date picker?\n\nWith this talk\, I hope to show how we c
 an use such philosophies as a foundation for bottom-up decision making —
  a foundation that spans across projects and addresses design’s uncertai
 nty head-on. And finally\, to show how this foundation can evolve organica
 lly and encourage progress.\n\n### Speaker bio\n\nI have been building web
  stuff for the last seven years and like most peers in this field\, I am l
 argely self–taught. I spend a lot of time pondering about design and th
 e web\, and more recently\, about the connections (and peculiarities) betw
 een everything around us.\n\nThese days I design websites at (and help run
 ) [Miranj](http://miranj.in/).\n

DESCRIPTION:The web is becoming more and more interconnected thanks to **A
 PIs**. Today\, with the advent of frontend javascript frameworks for the w
 eb and native platforms for the mobile\, the servers have become just API 
 servers \; **which is great**.\n\nThe downside\; every web/mobile app\, no
 w has an API. Many of them are poorly designed. Consuming even a well desi
 gned API takes a lot of developer's time. Most of them quit right after th
 ey see the documentation.\n\nWhat can we do to make our API's easily consu
 mable and help us build a  developer community? \n\n**Building a REST base
 d API is not enough any more**. Consumption of an API must be abstracted t
 he to a click of a button or a few lines of code. \nI want to share the te
 chniques we used while\n\n1. designing an API for [SupportBee](https://sup
 portbee.com) which is a single page application (using backbone) \n2. buil
 ding a hosted [app platform](https://developers.supportbee.com) on the des
 igned API\n\nWe will have look at services like [Zapier](http://zapier.com
 ) and [IFTTT](http://ifttt.com) which are abstracting consumption of API's
  all over the web.\n\n### Speaker bio\n\nI have been working with Ruby and
  Ruby on Rails for the last 3 years. I am the backend hacker at SupportBee
  since its blueprint days. I have been a part of designing its API from th
 e scratch and its evolution into a app platform.\n

DESCRIPTION:The Web is under attack\, more now than ever. We'll see how an
 d why\, as well as what happens when developers fail to defend the Web - B
 ecause sometimes the best way to learn is to see what NOT to do. \n\nWe'll
  cover how developers (in small companies or huge corporations - doesn't m
 atter) neglect various portions of the population\, thereby going against 
 the very philosophy of the Web. We'll have case studies of how even the bi
 ggest of companies have screwed up in the past\, and what you can do to no
 t repeat those mistakes. In each case study\, we'll also cover what the co
 mpany should have done and how it could have ended up being beneficial for
  everyone involved. \n\nWe'll cover why browser sniffing is evil  (and the
  small exceptions when they might be okay)\, the correct ways to do featur
 e detection\, testing on various platforms (and how to make it as easy as 
 possible)\, semantics and why they are usefull\, and above all else - the 
 philosophy of the Web... How and why you - Dear Front End Developer - shou
 ld be defending it. \n\nThe future of the Web is really in your hands - Do
 n't let it down. Learn from others and make you and the Web stronger.\n\n#

DESCRIPTION:SublimeVideo started 3 years ago as a demo of the first HTML5 
 Video player with custom controls. Following a very big community response
 \, we decided to turn it into a product and service with the goal to provi
 de the best possible HTML5 Video playing solution on the Web.\n\nIn this t
 alk I plan to tell the SublimeVideo story\, how it was born\, why we grew 
 it into a web service\, and why we decided to spend over a year to develop
  an entire framework around it\, which we've recently launched (in Decembe
 r).\n\nAt the same time\, I'll use our story as an opportunity to cover se
 veral aspects of HTML5 Video - challenges\, origins\, current state and fu
 ture.\n\nThe talk will go beyond HTML5 Video and will cover other aspects 
 of front-end web development. In particular\, I'll present the graphics la
 yer that we built into our SublimeVideo Horizon framework which allows to 
 draw and render pixel-perfect UI elements across any browser and the lates
 t mobile platforms\, using different technologies like SVG and Canvas.\n\n
 ### Speaker bio\n\nI'm co-founder at Jilion where I lead the development o
 f SublimeVideo.\n
